Though he was born on an American military base in West Germany on March 19, 1955, Bruse Willis was raised in New Jersey from the age of two. While attending Montclair State College, he performed in a production of Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and his love of acting blossomed. He spent much time in New York trying out for various off-Broadway productions, finally succeeding in 1977. He left school to work in the play Heaven on Earth, but finding a acting job was difficult, with a commercial here and a small theatrical role there. However, in 1984 he landed the lead in an off-Broadway production of Fool for Love and then, during a trip to Los Angeles, was selected out of 3,000 auditioners to co-star in Cybill Shepherd's romantic sitcom Moonlighting as the egotistical, self-assured private detective David Addison. He left the show in 1989 and that same year he starred in one of his best movie evert, Die Hard. There have been 2 sequels now and there are plans to have one more.
